And further, we examine the westernization of this figure as “someone worth saving” - In other words, the savior complez than remains a part of U.S. culture years past the era of colonization.

We also talk producer mentions on the bottle… Yeah, you’ll want to pour yourself a glass of something nice for this episode.

Filmed from the family-run palenque, Cortes shares his perspective on the global rise of mezcal and how it positively and negatively affected the local market, from the theft of agave plants from their own farm to the need to shift the focus of mezcal production to the "who" of mezcal making, rather than the specifications of each bottle. And, of course, Que Penca's signature "What Am I Drinking?" is supplemented by a bottle provided by Cortes.
